j SWIVEL PEN SUPPORT FOR IlESK SETS.

Application filed December 24, 1926. Serial No. 156 773.

This invention relates to improvements in desk set pen supports, and has for one of its chief objects, the provision of a swiveled pen support adapted for universalpadjustment or movement in the desk set base.-

Another object of the invention is to provide a swiveled pen support for a desk set of simple, substantial and inexpensive construction.

Other objects and advantages of my invention will become more apparent as the specification proceeds.

Referring to the drawings forming a part of this specification,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of my invention,

Figure 2 is an end view of same partly in section and Figures 3 and 4 are detail'views of the swivel forming members.

Referring to the drawings in detail 5 indicates a base made of any suitable material,.

such as hard rubber, onyx, celluloid. or the like. The base 5 is provided with a hole or opening 6 which houses a two part bushing 77 having an annular recess 8 near the top end thereof, in which there is rotatably mounted a post 9 provided with a lower disk 10 loosely fitting in the said recess 8. A reduced or neck portion 11 extends from the disk 10 through an opening 12 formed by the two sections of the bushing 77 and terminating in an upper portion having a flange13 and a spherical head 14 in which there is cut a slot 15 to accommodate an ear-16 projecting from a thread,- ed stud 17 upon which there is screw threadedly supported a pen holding member 18.

. The stud17 ishingedly mounted in the slot 15 on a screw19 threaded into the head 14. The entire construction forms a swivel adapted for substantially universal movement in the .base 5 in which it is maintained by a screw 20 threaded into the threaded depending portions 21 of the bushing 77. The bushing 77 terminates at its upper end in a head or flange 22' which supports same on the base 5. I

To assemble the device, the stud or post 9 is placed between the two halves of the bushing 77 which'is inserted into the opening 6 in the base 5 and the screw 20 is then threaded into the bushing and tightened to hold -same in place. The depending ear 16 is then inserted into the slot 15 and screw 19 passed through the ear and threaded into the head 14 and the entire device is ready for use;

have produced a desk set provided with'a swivelled pen support adapted to be rotated in a circular direction and in an upand" down or angular direction in any position that the post 14 may assume, thereby giving the device a substantially universal adjustment. It will also be seen that the entire construction forms a simple, inexpensive From the foregoing it will be seen that 1 and efficient device for the purpose speci- Having described my invention what I claim as new is:

1. In a' desk set, a base having an opening, a bushing comprising a plurality. of

and a pen supporting member hingedly mounted in the post, and means for securing the bushing to the base.

3. In a device of the nature described, a base, a pen holding member, and a connector between the pen holding member and the base, comprising a multiple part bushing provided with an annular groove and a stu rotatably mounted at one end thereof in the groove and hingedly supporting the pen holder at the opposite endthereof, the said connector'forming means for rotatingthe pen holding member through a complete an circle in a horizontal plane and throng arc of substantially a half circle in a vertical lane.
